Pets: Meet the Ann Arbor.com Adoptable Pet of the Week: Dudley

Dudley, a 12-year-old Silky Terrier in need of a caring home

Dudley is a very handsome, and super sweet 12-year-old Silky Terrier. Dudley's family moved to a place that did not allow dogs so sadly, this older gentleman is now at the shelter waiting for a new home.

Dudley is house trained, affectionate and a great little walker. Pick up his leash and his tail starts wagging! You can often see Dudley hanging out behind the adoption desk at the Humane Society of Huron Valley just lounging in his bed. He does not bark much at all, is always happy to see people and would make an amazing companion for someone who wants an older dog. Like many dogs his age and breed, he is starting to develop some cataracts but Dudley is adjusting to that very well.

If the fact that Dudley is the cutest and sweetest dog you will ever see is not a good enough reason for you to adopt him, please consider these reasons:

1. He does not need to be trained and won’t make a mess
2. He will settle in quickly to your home (all he needs is a warm doggie bed, food, water, few treats, and most of all YOU!)
3. What you see is what you get — Dudley’s personality (which is fantastic by the way) is set and won’t change
4. He enjoys the easy life and needs minimal exercise
5. You can be his hero when you adopt this senior dog — he will love you for it.
